Parker’s continues its rapid expansion efforts with the opening of a new store in Port Royal, S.C.
On Sept. 15, Savannah, Ga.-based Parker’s celebrated the grand opening of its newest retail store in Port Royal, S.C. As a part of the celebration, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held, which featured Beaufort County dignitaries.
Port Royal mayor Sam Murray, Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce president Blakely Williams, Port Royal City council members and Chamber of Commerce ambassadors helped celebrate the new Parker’s location at 12 Savannah Highway at Shell Point Rd.
“This new store is a response to strong consumer demand in Beaufort County,” said Parker’s CEO Greg Parker. “We are deeply grateful for the support of our loyal customers as well as the elected officials and area dignitaries who are here today to help us celebrate our grand opening.”
The new store, which is the company’s 45th location and the 11th in South Carolina, features a hot deli serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, including popular Parker’s offerings prepared fresh on-site. Highlights include a full breakfast bar with egg casserole, bacon, sausage, cheese grits and biscuits, as well as Southern fried chicken tenders, homemade mac ‘n’ cheese, vegetables and daily specials.

The store is managed and staffed by experienced members of the Parker’s team, all of whom share a commitment to delivering high-quality customer service.
